+Wikipedia says: Cycle sort is an in-place, unstable sorting algorithm, 
+a comparison sort that is theoretically optimal in terms of the total 
+number of writes to the original array, unlike any other in-place sorting 
+algorithm. It is based on the idea that the permutation to be sorted can 
+be factored into cycles, which can individually be rotated to give a sorted result.
